Mohammed Siraj was once told to drive an auto with his father if he played badly.

He had his worst IPL season in 2019. Siraj's comeback from a wall of failure.


Cricket is a game where cricketers are worshipped like Gods when they play well.

But they are also criticized when they perform poorly.

Even legendary cricketers have gone through bad form at different times, and they have also been criticized.

They have also been celebrated when they have regained their form.

When a cricketer is not playing well, does not score runs, or does not take wickets, they also become the target of trolls.

Trolls are more or less all cricketers, but in Siraj's case, it is excessive.

He used to spend a lot of time in the gym and on the field without anyone noticing.

He reaped the benefits of this in the 2020-21 IPL season, when he single-handedly brought down the Kolkata Knight Riders batting order.

He was awarded a ticket to Alan Border's country in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy edition.

In Oz, he had the biggest tragic moment :

He received the news of his father's death during a practice session in the Kangaroo country.

The father who dreamed that one day his son would play for the country.

He was Siraj's backbone. So, it was natural to fall into a temporary state of mind due to the departure of his the strongest supporter.

And now, he has cemented his place in the national team by blowing up the middle stump of the wicket with a perfect yorker on Australia's bouncy pitch.

He has wrapped up his father's dream in a cloak of success.

Mohammed Ghaous used to say that his son would one day make the country's name shine.

In the 2023 Asia Cup final in Colombo, he is making the country's name shine brighter than ever by taking 6 wickets against Sri Lanka, making the trolls a meme material.

Keep moving forward, brother, spreading your radiance in the Twenty20.

Congratulations Siraj❤️
